Cyprus hunts for alleged Russian spy paymaster (AP)

Undated handout photo released from the Cyprus police on Thursday, July 1, 2010, showing alleged Russian spy Christopher Robert Metsos, 54, who they are looking for after he skipped bail and vanished. Metsos, who identified himself as a Canadian citizen, is wanted in the US on charges that he supplied money to a spy ring that authorities say operated under deep cover in America's suburbs. Metsos was arrested Tuesday in Cyprus as he tried to board a flight for Budapest, Hungary, but a Cypriot judge freed him on euro27,000 (US$33,000) bail, and he has now gone missing but is thought to still be on the Mediterranean island. (AP Photo/Cyprus Police, HO)AP - Russian money and influence have long made a splash on this Mediterranean resort island where a suspected Russian spy paymaster vanished after being allowed to walk free on bail.
